... Abstract Boscan is a giant multi-billion-barrels heavy oil (10.5° API gravity and asphaltic) field in Venezuela. Although, a large part of the field is on primary production with a low recovery factor (<6%), water injection has been successfully implemented in portions of the field for over...

This paper presents an experimental study on investigating the mechanisms and mechanics of geomechanical dilation and fundamentals during cold-water injection. A triaxial experimental...

... Abstract The heavy oil block field Z70 has oil viscosity of 165mPa.s and high temperature of 93°C, and is highly heterogeneous. After water injection, the water cut rose quickly and achieved 83% when oil recovery was only 7.6%. In order to control the quick rising of water to oil rate ratio...

..., a hot water injection pilot was designed and implemented in June 2011. The hot water injection scheme was applied to a transition area where dead oil viscosity ranges from 3,000 cp to approximately 15,000 cp. It consists of one horizontal producer supported by two horizontal hot water injectors...

... between sandbodies and determine the response of oil production on water injection. The early field oil production and pressure declined at the rate of 4.4%/month and 0.6 MPa/month respectively because of lacking natural energy. The results of water-oil displacement in cores explicit that there is no non...

... In the high water cut stage whose water cut is more than 70%, the oilfield adopts profile control, layered water injection and so on to slow down the water cut rising. Figure 1 shows that the actual storage water rate is close to the theoretical curve whose injection-production ratio is 1.0...
